Dah jumpe dah...
And now, the end is near, and so I face, the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived, a life that's full, I've traveled each and every highway.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

i've been at this com lab for nearly 3 hours..itupun i rasa cam tak cukup..but i have to go back to pray and read up a little on this case study that's due for a presentation tomorrow...well, the group presenting will be picked at random, so we still have to prepare the answers..my group's meeting tomorrow at 1 p.m....i have grouses about this group of mine, but i think it will be a little premature to spill them here..i need more patience and time, i guess...
yesterday, i went to the Malaysian Society gathering organised by the postgraduates at the Frances Noble Building...i went alone, cuz Soo didn't pick up her phone, and i assumed that she's either not back from work, or has passed out due to all the work she did...when i walked into the building, and saw a few malay families, my heart literally soared..went up to them, salam-ed, then walked into the hall that saw the gathering that afternoon...alhamdulillah...met lots of malaysian...almost 97% malay, a few chinese and indians, and a few Bruneians and Singaporeans...but mostly undergraduates doing medicine...most of the postgraduates have families with them, so it was like a big Raya open house do..i'm one of the very few "single" postgraduate, hehe...there were lots of food and drinks...nasi ayam, nasi minyak, nasi goreng, beehoon goreng, macaroni goreng, laksa, nasi himpit and kuah kacang, a variety of deserts, and banyak lagi..i was basically stuffing my face..yelah, baru second time makan nasi...got to know the postgraduates, Dr MAria, Dr Rosna, Kak Ja, and a few others..all of whom have invited me over to their place..insya-Allah, once i figured the bus routes here.. met a few students yang dah turned into doctors and are now working in the area..Farah, Dewi, Irene and BEnny...jolly and jovial "firs yers" Nazima, Arfa (budak Subang! yay!), Joanne, Vila, Vani, Fiza...others pursuing medicine are Herni, Imran, Adi, Irene, Azila, Hajar, Faizul, Farhana, and a few others (dah lupe nama)...it was fun..i basically moved around, talking to people, taking down numbers, pinching cheeks of cute little ones...Dr Rosna came with her 3 "princesses", each comel as hell, with chubby legs encased in colourful stokings, tucked in Mary Janes...as a matter of fact, the number of kids running around in the hall that afternoon, could easily rival the actual students! eheheh...so, they managed to get me to abandon my plans to check out the Oadby Swimming pool today (where the Swimming Club conducts their training) and to attend their netball training session...yeah, me and netball, what a combination ! but of course i'll come! with ill-fitting trackpants due to a long period of disservice, no less! btw Aptototz, check out Adi for me..sama batch ngan Jai kat Berseri..but doesn't recognize Jai's full name or nama manja kite (yakni Jai..hehehe)..i forgotlaa what he was called back then...was it Badut?
watched Smallville yesterday!! yay! had the common room all to myself...fiddled with the cable receiver...banyak gile channel..! naik poning dibuat den...then last night, went to watch Shallow Hal (boring), and From Hell (creepy as hell!)..sheesh, i was ready to fled by the first quarter of the movie, but was too scared to go out alone..ehhehe..so had to wait till the movie was over, then walked out with this couple....but JOhnny Depp was yummy! despite the greasy curly hair tho'...
just finished a customary round of the MAlaysian newspaper columns..y'know, hiburan, lilfe & times, entertainment, features...heck, what can i say? at this point of tiime, those are the only news that catches my eyes..*sticks tongue out* takpelaa ye...found out a few nuggets tho'...ape? aznil nawawi is gonna host melodi?! ape karisma kapoor is finally married?! ape, still no news on sham kamikaze?! ehhehe....
but what sobered me up was reading part of the interview conducted by the Star team with our PM....i can't believe that a whole year passed by just like that *snaps fingers* and he's finally stepping down within this month...as i read the interview, i couldn't help wondering what's going to happen...true, he did established order before this imminent occasion, but is it sustainable? i know within the next few weeks, the papers and tv will be splashing news all about him, and i just wished i could be back home, watching and reading everything...i may not be a very patriotic person, but i thik he is a great man (regardless what others might think), and the thought of him not being a PM anymore just boggles me...
right now am smsing with my sis...sheesh, i hate smsing when i have lots to say! tunggulaa, dapat debit card nanti, i'm gonna get meself one of them things called the 'andphone, and get meself some free minutes, so i can just blabber away...can't wait!
